Off topic, but have you noticed that the new version of Auto-Tune has a totally different algorithm that has way more artifacts?

[@marcusedvardsson5505]

Doesn't work :(

[@NielsNielsen-q3g]

Didnt work for me either to sign up. Excited though! I could need that plugin exactly right now 😂

[@petestyles8911]

Should be able to bypass each section instead of the whole plugin. To be able to bypass the saturation on / off to etc would be handy like you can when using multiple plugins. Just my feedback

[@hardcoremusicstudio]

Good idea, someone else suggested this as well.

[@FrancisFarmerMusic]

When the knobs are at zero, isnt that bypass? ​@hardcoremusicstudio

[@Cwhite.tx23]

I wonder if you can automate those settings to essentially bypass them in whatever section you want?

[@DevinDavisMusic]

Damn man, that sounds awesome! Once again, I'm gonna have to get this at release.

[@rossjohnmartin]

I tried this out along with silencer which is also a must buy. It’s an instant buy for me for how quickly I got a great sound and could then just move on. Momentum is key so having this instead of 4 or 5 different plugins is brilliant for me! 😁

[@infinitydrumming]

This thing is mighty. Amazing how easy it is to dial in that pro sound on the bus. Thanks so much for including a HPF too. So annoying that is missing on the SSL G Bus. 👏

[@hauntedhotdog]

Just picked it up today. I downloaded the free trial, and I'm not even joking, I think within about two minutes of using it I was at the store hitting the buy button. It sounds terrific, it's simple and idiot proof, and I also have to give you credit for making the end user experience of buying, installing, and activating incredibly painless and lightning fast. I already have a few BSA plugins, and I'm sure it won't be the last one I get. Keep up the great work.

[@samnapolitano5321]

I’ve been really enjoying my BSA plugins, the simplicity is what I love most. Will be buying this one too!

[@Todzuum]

I use silencer every mix , best gate for sure

[@mrcoatsworth429]

Me too! And the prices aren't as high as people think. Once you have one of their plugins, you get offers and coupons every couple of days.

[@adityaghosal1000]

As others have suggested, please add a clipper to this and allow us to bypass each module of the plugin. That would make this absolutely perfect for Drum buss processing.

[@musicbySTIX]

I totally agree, BUT Jordan already has a plugin called 'BSA Clipper', which could be used after BSA Drum Bus.

[@calebjacobi9197]

@@musicbySTIX True, but that means they already have the algorithm. If it’s supposed to be a one-stop shop, they should just add it to the end.

[@musicbySTIX]

​@@calebjacobi9197As it's labeled as a "one-stop-shop" I do agree. But, the clipper algorithm they have is the selling point for another plugin. If they add the same algorithm/functionality to Drum Bus, it devalues Clipper. 😬

[@TheLeon1032]

glad I didn't unsubscribe from your email list, I heard about this plugin there, I love simplicity and function, thanks man

[@timothydillard4192]

Love it man!

[@1verzhn]

Your plugins are awesome🤘

[@kylegrossi8175]

Your best plugin yet.

[@tronnyplaysguitar]

just downloaded and threw this on my drum and crush busses in a mix of a recently released track with my band.... 10 minutes of minor tweaking on the presets and i replaced my whole drum bus chain and had everything sounding thicker and punchier already! i would love to see a similar style plugin for vocals/ vox bus, and i think you guys could pull this off. maybe have the 2 modes be for single tracks or for busses, or lead/ BGV? i learned a lot form your videos about stacking multiple comps on vocals so i would love to see you translate some of this knowledge into a similar plugin (name idea : Vox bus ;) )

[@popolokross444]

This is great! Hope we're getting other instruments next. I always loved your guitar and bass sound.

[@DavidShankle1]

JUST GREAT THANK YOU.

[@khelmeri]

Hell yeah man, so far we've had two plugins replaced by one, but now (for me at least) it's going to be five! This'll be huge!

[@MrNoireclipse]

Cool plugin. Sounds good. However, when the GUI is open I get more unreported DPC latency than other plugs and I actually get audible latency from it and have to disable during any tracking.

[@Mrichardsyt]

Is this something you’d put on midi drums? Like a GGD or Mixwave product. Or more for live drums? Thanks in advance!

[@PlebPhurgusson]

I get that this is a sales pitch, yet still Jordan slips some education in there 🤣

[@kelvinfunkner]

well done!

[@simonslee73]

Nice! Need to try it against UAD Fatso which is a similar secret sauce

[@FortyFive13]

If you’re signed up for the BSA mailing list already do we still get that 20% off voucher? Big fan of a lot of the BSA stuff, especially the clipper.

[@hububhublub-zi6or]

Yoyo how much do you send room mic to crush buss? Or are you crushing separately for this stuff or nah?

[@nickdenardo6479]

seems like a simple one step solution. I'd probably use it on the ny style buss, but get more granular on my regular drum buss.

[@lencarmichael]

Did you solve the issue I emailed, IG messaged, and tagged you in RE: stereo version of silencer causing clicks and pops throughout my daw. (Solved by using dual mono).

[@davejohnsonmusic]

There's like a 4dB difference in gain reduction on the SSL Crush and the new BSA, but achieving the same punch. Is it a fixed ratio, or proportional? Great job man. I suspect at some point down the line, you will be able to retire most of your non-BSA plugins.

[@danymalsound]

Tech question: when a plug like this replaces a prior "chain" of plugins, is it actually more CPU friendly, or simply a convenient tool via its design? Cheers

[@e.apollis2877]

next, guitar and vocal buss😁

[@vallo1287]

Oh man…. I was so looking forward to trying this out. Installed it a couple of hours ago and…. Oh well, everyone is entitled to produce one dud yeah? I LOVE the BSA plug ins - I use them on so many things (the clipper is a joy). But this just wrecked my drum sound - the kick went from tight and defined to a muddy thud, and amount of tweaking would change it. But that’s not the worst. The thing is barely useable - despite the CPU meter not getting over 50%, this made all the controls really sluggish and unresponsive. It was seconds between trying to turn something and it actually happening. And the drum bus fader level just stuck solid. I assumed that was because it was somehow limiting the hell out of it - but no. I’m assuming this has been optimised for M chip macs? I’m on the last Intel Mac mini. Performs perfectly with tons of stuff running. This is the first plug I’ve installed in three years that has caused this to happen. I think until there’s a v1.1 this is staying off the agenda for me, which makes me sad 😢

[@hardcoremusicstudio]

All of this sounds very weird and have not received any feedback remotely similar. Wondering if some weird bug is happening for you.

[@vallo1287]

@@hardcoremusicstudio it’s very odd. My system has been rock solid for ages and runs all the other BSA plug-ins without any problems at all. I have four things on my drum bus - pultec, Ampex 102 (both UA), waves SSL bus comp and the BSA clipper. Obvious logic swapping those for this - should speed things up if anything!!

[@lionlotus333]

Jordan...when trying to sign up, I get a "Request Failed With Status Code 400" error message...thought you should know!

[@md4man]

Just an idea for a way to streamline things even more: Maybe make the space between the Standard & Slammed switch positions to be a mix slider. When having the slider all the way left, the controls are for the drum bus. With the slider all the way right, the controls are for the drum crush bus. When the slider is somewhere in between, the controls become inoperable but you can balance your drum and crush busses, thus only having to use 1 bus to get your blended sound. Nice plugin, by the way!

[@schleppvideos]

thats a really good idea. got my vote!

[@inventtrey]

Someone else mentioned having a mix slider between Standard and Slammed mode so that you can blend in the crush bus and have everything in one plugin instead of two. The only potential problem I can see with this, is that the "Slammed" setting is meant to have less cymbals sent to the bus in its intended use scenario. Maybe there's a way for the Slammed setting to "ignore" the cymbals using some of their algorithms from their Silencer plugin to reduce cymbal bleed, that way you can mix the crush bus in without hearing the cymbals being too hyped. Also, perhaps you could incorporate a clipper into the Output section of the plugin. Awesome plugin, can't wait to try it, and would love to see these ideas incorporated in an update!

[@youareliedtobythemedia]

Could simply give it a sidechain input for the parallel bus
